The Perfect Fan (Tribute To Mother)
Mariah Carey · Other Songs - Mariah Carey
It's not the big things, but the little things
That can mean enough
A lot of prayers to get me through
And there is never a day that passes by
I don't think of you
You were always there for me
Pushing me and guiding me
Always to succeed
CHORUS
You showed me
When I was young just how to grow
You showed me
Everything that i should know
You showed me
Just how to walk without you hands
'Cause Mom you always were
The perfect fan
God has been so good
Blessing me with a family
Who did all they could
And I've had many years of grace
And it flatters me when I see a smile on your face
I wanna thank you for what you've done
In hopes I can give back to you
And be the perfect son
CHORUS- repeat
You showed me how to love
You showed me how to care
And you showed me that you would always be there
I wanna thank you for that time
And I'm proud to say you're mine
CHORUS- repeat
'Cause Mom you always were, Mom you always were
Mom you always were, you know you always were
'Cause Mom you always were...the perfect fan
I love you Mom
